How do I add upward forces from an exoskeleton to a job assessment?

Thanks for your feedback!
If you want to capture upward forces applied by an operator (for example, when supported by an exoskeleton), use estimated forces in your Baseline, Projected, and/or Follow-up assessments (Operator Strength Capability and Whole-Body Effort). This shows changes in perceived effort with and without the device.
Forces applied by the exoskeleton itself (i.e., the device pushing upward on the shoulders or back) cannot currently be included in assessments, given the current research available.
